This will make the third Kenwood I have owned in 30 odd years and it is defiantly the best one yet. The Motor is very powerful and a little bit quieter than the old Chefs’ I have had. Am loving the new medium speed outlet, great for use with the citrus juicer and the small food processor. Also the beaters and dough hook are solid stainless, so will go in the dishwasher.
Over all a great revamp of a classic and well worth the money, much better than the American competition! Go, Buy!!!

I bought a KM010 Titanium after considering a range of food processors (eg Magimix, Dualit, Kitchen Aid) and have been very pleased with that the Chef can do. I’ve never owned a food processor so am not entirely sure if the claimed versatility of them is true in practice. What I do know is the Chef does what I need and instead of almost everything going in one bowl you have to think that the Kenwood way is to have a specific apparatus for each task – hence the 4 attachment points and different speeds. I’ve found it kneads bread well (my biggest use of it thus far) and in a decent sized amount, it mixes well and it liquidises well too. Points I noted were:
1) the glass liquidiser is huge and for smaller or older people with a weak grip it is heavy. Having said that it does mean you can really fill it up eg with soup for 4-6 people and liquidise it in one go. making one milkshake does look a bit lost in the bottom.
2) it is a bit of trial and error working out when to use the flexi beater versus the classic K beater – the cook book that comes with the machine (that is otherwise a well written book) makes no mention of the flexi beater – assume it was not invented in 2003 when the book says it was printed. flexibeater seems to work best with sponge cake mixes.
3) the machine is a bit noisier than I expected at full pelt but to generally have it on for only a minute or two at that speed. however it is very stable and there is no sense that the motor ever labours.
4) the food processor works pretty well (I’ve never had a proper one to compare) but it does even on min setting start quite “fast” – this can feel very quick for shredding/slicing – slicing onions seems to take about 1.5 seconds….but the result is perfectly respectable – again the whole thing feels like the task is of no strain at all on the main motor.
5) the metal finish is of high quality and the parts all fit together with a decent clunk/fit. the only bit that feels a bit flimsy is the splash guard. While it is not a structural partit looks like it could easily be damaged in a busy washing up bowl.

I’ve had this Kenwood Chef for almost a year now. It replaced an old Kenwood Chef passed down by my parents. That machine eventually expired after over 30 years of breadmaking. So far, the new one is proving to be a worthy successor. The extra power and electronic control enable it to handle a 3 lb bread dough with ease where the old one struggled. The cover to the bowl (with opening hatch) ensures that all the flour stays in the bowl. Fortunately (and rather unusually compared with many manufacturers) most of the attachments from my old machine fit this one. The new machine is also much quieter.
I have just one minor quibble that prevents me giving a five star rating. The mains lead is rather short, so it has to be within an arm’s reach of a mains socket. In a cramped kitchen with not many power sockets, for a machine as heavy as this, that really is quite inconvenient.

A dream to use, and it’s dishwasher friendly too. Has produced perfect results every time. I only bought the basic set as it contained a food processor and liquidiser in the package, with basic blades, enough for every day use. If I were a real “foodie”, I might want to buy more add-ons, like the juicer, mincer and pasta attachments, but they aren’t necessary.

I held off from buying the Kenwood for years. Now I have purchased the Titanium and it has been fantastic. The processor does not handle the quantity that my old Braun processor does, but if I need more than a 10oz mix I do 2 batches. It has done bread, cakes and merangues for me, successfully and with ease. Whipped cream and souffles. Its quieter than I expected. The liquidiser does a very good job for soups (thats about all I use that for) I also purchased the mincer/sausagemaker/kebab attachement. The mincer is a godsend as I have rheumatics and turning the handle on the old mincer is a chore. Processing the meat to make bugers does not give the right consistency. I have not yet tried it for pate or faggots. I am going for the pasta attachment next.
10/10 I am well pleased with the machine.
